I will be crowned king

"knew."

The elf girl nodded slightly and glanced at Anson with her cold eyes: "No matter what you do, you can do it, right?"

"No matter what you do, you can do it." Anson nodded solemnly: "Of course, just blocking, it does not need to really annihilate all the enemies in one breath... The key is to put your safety first."

"You don't need to think about this kind of thing. Just ensure the safety of the army and the road...other people."

Freya, who temporarily changed her words, snorted coldly, and then turned around and walked out of the basement under the doubtful and puzzled eyes of others, and walked towards the parliament hall.

Until she left, the elf girl tried her best to restrain her eyes from meeting Louis's, for fear of being discovered by some perceptive bastard.

In the surprisingly quiet basement, the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

"Ahem...that...the staff of the New World Army is organizing the evacuation, and has arranged escort carriages and guards for you adults."

In the end, Carl Bain, who is always good at smoothing things over, came out to resolve the situation: "For those who have families in the city, I sent Miss Lisa to lead the guard company to take them away ten minutes ago... By this time, they should have left the city and were heading to the northwest position. On the way to Changhu Town..."

Upon hearing the news, the congressmen suddenly felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They all forgot what had just happened and left the basement under the leadership of Karl.

Anson didn't explain anything, and quickly looked at each other with Karl, who was leading the way to leave. The two of them understood each other in a tacit understanding, and there was no need to say anything.

After everyone left, the young knight who had never spoken raised his head with a solemn expression:

"You really want to do this?"

"It must be done." Anson nodded: "Now that the Heart of Mercy airship has stopped over the town, the fully armed Judgment Knights will definitely take the lead in launching an offensive next."

"You should also know their equipment and combat power very well... Ordinary soldiers can say that they have no advantage in this kind of barricade melee, and they will only end up being massacred unilaterally."

"The only one who can compete with them head-on is the Blasphemous Mage... Since the two sides have reached the point of life and death, there is no point in continuing to cover up. It is better to put them all in and let the other side see clearly what they will do if they fight us to the death. At what cost.”

Louis was startled, and his unnatural expression seemed to realize something, but in the end he chose to accept: "Okay, then I will also..."

"This is absolutely not possible!" Anson objected on the spot: "You are now the marshal of the New World Legion. Your most important mission is to ensure that the legion remains united and intact."

"you……"

"To put it a little more bluntly, Her Majesty Freya is now taking the initiative to take on the task of containing the enemy. She is buying time for you to stabilize the fragmented legion that was bombed by the Jihad Army as soon as possible and assemble them into a reliable combat force—— In comparison, the combat power of a mere talented person is nothing at all!"

After interrupting the young knight twice in a row, Anson's expression was quite serious - he had obtained information from the defeated troops of Roman and Borre Corps, and ruled that the knights had the idea of ​​​​killing Louis directly; now let him risk his own life, and the opponent on the other side The Judgment Knight will not be as easy to talk to as the previous Crusaders.

Of course, letting the elf girl come forward also carries similar risks... Although she is a blasphemy mage, after the catastrophe of the Court of Ysel, the Holy See may have already mastered information and weaknesses about her - this is another reason why Louis must not come forward. ——It’s hard to say that he won’t be targeted, but right now there are only two blasphemous mages in the entire Red Hand Bay: herself and herself.

Under the premise that Lu En would most likely not make a move, there were really only a few chess pieces that Anson could use.

"how about you?"

Staring into his best friend's eyes, Louis said word by word: "As the commander-in-chief of the Storm Legion, if something unexpected happens, the impact will not be very small."

"Don't worry too much about the situation here. There is only one grenadier regiment, one guard company and three thousand shooting corps in the entire Red Hand Bay. There are people in charge of the first two, half of the shooting corps has been destroyed, and the rest are on the staff. Under Chang Karl, there will be no problems as long as he is here.”

With a nonchalant chuckle, Anson took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from his arms and threw them to the young knight.

"This is……?!"

Louis, who hurriedly caught it, saw the object in his hand clearly, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Anonymous glasses can make people around you subconsciously ignore the existence of the wearer. They are a very practical magic prop." Anson smiled playfully: "You should be familiar with it."

Louis nodded slightly. The reason why he lost to him in the Battle of Eagle Point City and was captured for the second time was because of these small glasses.

"With it, it won't be very difficult for you to escape from Red Hand Bay alone; of course, you can't be too confident." Anson added: "This thing is very useful to some people who have the power of insight or are very strong. Talented people and spell casters are all ineffective.”

"Absolute security does not exist, I understand that."

The young knight understood and walked towards the exit of the basement; Anson was left sitting alone in the empty basement, waiting for the Judgment Knights to come to the door.

As if he had made some kind of determination... The moment he grasped the door handle, he suddenly stopped and took a deep breath without looking back: "Anson!"

"Um?"

Someone who was still smoking a pipe leisurely raised his head with a confused expression.

"If...of course what I hope is definitely not if...if we can all survive after this battle is over..."

Facing the closed door, Louis gritted his teeth and said without looking back: "I hope you can come to my wedding with Freya - as my best friend and my best man!"

"In addition, if the Ring of Order can forgive us and allow us to have a child, whether it is a boy or a girl, I...I hope from the bottom of my heart that you can call him or her godfather!"

"In this way... when you and... a lady you really like walk into the church one day, I also hope that you will be willing to invite me to your wedding; no matter who it is, I will pray to the Ring of Order to bless you in peace, Happiness, contentment.”

"This is my only wish, and it is a wish that I will work hard to realize no matter what!"

After saying that, the young knight breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and left.

Until the footsteps disappeared, Anson in the basement was still staring blankly in the direction of the door, his expression seemed to be completely frozen, completely frozen on his face, just like this for one minute, two minutes, three minutes...

"Snapped--!"

The pipe slipped from the corner of his mouth and hit the ground hard.

…………………………………………

While the Confederacy was in complete chaos, the Jihadi Army, which had completely destroyed the outer defenses of Red Hand Bay, also began the second phase of the operation. Mercy turned off the searchlight and began to lower its altitude and continue to approach the burning town. .

Of course, there is a lot of risk in this approach. After all, the Jihadi Army has not determined the duration or location of the bombardment in advance. The probability of being hit by one of your own guns if you lower your height rashly is not low.

However, considering that it is difficult for the Jihadi Army in chaos to immediately engage in military landing operations, if the effective forces cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, the massive bombardment operation may really be just a fireworks display in the end, which is meaningless.

In the airship, the assembled Judgment Knights, who were already fully armed, were organized into a team of twelve and began to descend from the airship door in an orderly manner. The slowly moving Heart of Mercy was monitoring the bottom while continuing to move in and out of the safe area. About forty teams and five hundred Judgment Knights were deployed.

Their mission is to annihilate all resistance forces in the city before the jihadi army lands, and to take resolute and devastating blows to all enemy forces that still maintain a certain degree of organization and orderly actions.

Their enemies numbered at least 7,000 in four figures, and it was hard to say whether there would be five figures in the main force of the New World Army - fully staffed line infantry battalions, skirmishers who were good at guerrilla warfare and street fighting, large-scale Cavalry, as well as artillery that is not inferior to the Jihadi Army.

From the perspective of the Judgment Knights, this was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre; of course, it was the Knights who massacred the opponent.

A steam gun that can fire sixty times a minute, a grenade that throws explosive bombs, a grenade that is as powerful as a six-pounder cannon, a breastplate that can block direct fire from a one-pounder cannon...

To put it bluntly, the firepower possessed by any ordinary Judgment Knight is equivalent to at least half a platoon of an ordinary army - and they are all talented people.

This is not one to ten, this is 20,000 vs. 7,000, and it is 20,000 well-trained and well-equipped professional warriors facing off against 7,000 improvised stinky fish and shrimps.

Not to mention that they also have a steam airship above them with the most powerful firepower in the world, which can destroy the Royal Court of Yser alone; the two are superimposed on each other, and no one with imagination can picture their failure in their mind. scene.

Robert thought so too.

As a newcomer who was promoted to captain through the power of his recently awakened but very powerful bloodline, and who has a place in the Knights, he has unquestionable trust in the power of the Holy See and the Judgment Knights, and is very eager to establish a position as soon as possible. Several battle exploits consolidated his newly acquired status.

But fortunately or unfortunately, the shelling effect of the Holy War Army just now seemed to be too good. From the time they set off until they entered the city, their team did not encounter any living things, let alone enemies who dared to resist.

All he could see in front of him were ruins that were radiating scalding heat and embers still lingering, streets covered with large and small craters, and fragments of rubble and bones scattered between the craters and ruins.

This made Robert, who was eager to make meritorious deeds, subconsciously speed up his pace, wanting to get ahead of other teams and enter the city further inside to hunt down the surviving enemies.

Red Hand Bay is not a big city, but it is not so small that a dozen people can complete the investigation in a few minutes. However, Robert thought that the advancement speed was already very fast, but he still did not encounter the enemy he hoped for.

And just when the entire team was about to give up, a petite figure suddenly appeared at the end of their sight.

She has waterfall-like long hair, ruby-like eyes set on a porcelain doll-like face, and the bright red dress not only does not destroy the purity in her eyes, but makes the girl even more sacred. The majesty of violation.

But the most eye-catching thing is the girl's pointed, twitching little ears.

“Discover the primary goal, repeat, discover the primary goal!”

Robert's pupils suddenly shrank, and his stern and serious face concealed an ecstatic heart: "Everyone - highest alert!"

The moment the words fell, the eleven Judgment Knights immediately formed a formation and raised the steam guns in their hands to aim at the target. The breath of blood power flowed in their bodies, and they were ready for battle.

No one knows better than the Judgment Knights how to fight spellcasters, especially spellcasters of the blasphemous mage level, and no one knows better than them what kind of preparations are needed to face such a powerful enemy head-on.

That is the consciousness of not caring about the cost, using any means, and looking forward to death.

Holding the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly, Robert stood nervously in the center of the team; Queen Ysel's ability had long been known to the Judgment Knights, and he knew very well that the seemingly delicate girl opposite could easily Wave your hand, and a fifty-meter-high pillar of fire may rise from the ground.

That's why he stands in the center of the team. His blood of the Furious Knight not only gives him extremely strong vitality and recovery ability, but he can also distribute this ability to his surrounding companions, improving their resistance to damage.

Robert named his ability "Blood of the Wild Hunt", which means that he is connected by blood and shares the same destiny.

"Freya Moses Field, stop!"

Looking at the elf girl who was still walking in step by step, the increasingly nervous Robert growled: "In the name of the Judgment Knights, I order you to give up resistance immediately and accept the fair trial of the Ring of Order!"

"Otherwise...all the people related to you will pay the price for your rebellious actions and be sentenced to death in front of God in the name of false believers and heretics!"

The words echoed among the sea of ​​fire and ruins. It seemed that she finally realized the existence of the group of people in front of her. The elf girl stopped, raised her head, and then slowly raised her hands.

Um?

Seeing that the other party really showed no signs of resisting, Robert's face was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it.

No, the intelligence clearly mentioned that the Elf Queen of Yser has a very extreme personality, and because of the awakening of her bloodline, the stronger she becomes, the crazier she becomes - how could she surrender voluntarily?

But soon, he found that the other party's movements did not seem to be about raising his hands to surrender, but leaning forward slightly, as if calling for something.

The next second, hot and white flames suddenly burst out from the ruins on both sides of the road, rolling up huge waves like a tidal wave, rising, rising, rising, as if they had their own life, and then... suddenly fall.

"boom----!!!!"
